Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

So mine arrived today, it shipped 4 months from the date it was ordered. It it feels quite light, it's a little tip heavy not bad, but unless my experience on the water changes it I don't see this as a $500 rod, the build could pass for any of their cheaper rods minus the guide train, $295 seems lik...

Re: Small hairjigs for largemouth

One of the local tackle guys near me does light hairjigs specifically for largemouth, Moe's jigs is the guys company, he does some good work. He gave me one to try this winter but unfortunately I got it hung in a submerged tree top. He even makes chatterbaits with hair skirts.

Re: Cashion Rods questions

No, it should be a big step up over the gx2, you should have a good bit more sensitivity with a MH cashion over any of the gx2s.

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

In the past Kristen helped me with with some issues with an edge rod order, her email was support@edgerods.com . The rod order manager last year was Caitlynn and her email was caitlynn@edgerods.com , I've had better luck with those emails getting ahold of people at Edge. I'll buy NFC blanks in the f...

Re: Trika Rods

I have alps mvt reel seats on 3 of my rods and I agree, the trika reel seat is very similar, just has a shorter trigger, I agree the seam on the trika could be cleaned up better but it's not a big deal to me.

I ordered August 16th and my rod doesn't even show in production yet.
I ordered mine October 27 so I can't imagine how far back I am. Status hasn't changed from "inventory check" since the day I ordered it.
Mine still hasn't, guess they left the 1 in front of the 60 off.

Re: Looking for 7'2+ M or ML casting rod

Have a custom-build with the NFC sj703 blank would be my choice....
But the progreen series from g Loomis has both a 7'2 and a 7'4 in ml they are in the process of being discontinued but American legacy bought the last lot of them.

Re: New Finesse/BFS reel for salt water

The smallest reels I use in saltwater would be my alpha sv105 or type r, Daiwa does make the coastal tw in a 80 edition now but it has a pretty deep spool compared to a bfs reel.

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

Interestingly enough the epitome shows in stock on the website now, anyone have theirs yet? Nope, still waiting. I emailed them and they said hopefully by the end of October. Only got a few more days, so I ain't holding my breath 🤔 Mine was ordered August 16th and still shows processing and not in ...
